About
Located within the ever‐popular Longacres Redrow development in Brackla, this well‐presented four‐bedroom detached home occupies a substantial plot and benefits from a superb south‐facing wraparound garden, detached garage, and excellent potential for further development subject to planning permission.
Ideally positioned close to local schools, shops, and amenities, the property also enjoys convenient access to Bridgend town centre and excellent commuter links via Junctions 36 and 35 of the M4, and is offered to the market with no onward chain.
The property is entered via a partly glazed front door into a welcoming entrance hallway laid to tiled flooring, with doors leading to the lounge, kitchen, ground floor WC, and a useful understairs storage cupboard, while a staircase rises to the first‐floor landing.
The ground floor WC comprises a low‐level WC and pedestal wash hand basin with obscure double‐glazed window, continuing the same tiled flooring as the hallway.
The lounge is an impressive yet cosy reception room laid to carpet, featuring a fireplace as an attractive focal point and a large double‐glazed bay window to the front that allows natural light to pour into the space.
The kitchen has been fitted with a matching range of base and eye‐level units with squared worktop surfaces and includes a stainless steel sink with mixer tap and drainer, built‐in oven with four‐burner gas hob and extractor fan, and space for a fridge‐freezer and dishwasher, along with ample storage throughout.
The kitchen is laid to tiled flooring and benefits from double‐glazed windows to the side and rear, with a doorway leading through to the dining room and another to the utility room.
The utility room provides roll‐top work surfaces, space for two appliances, additional wall‐mounted storage, and houses the combination boiler.
The dining room is a generous reception room laid to carpet and features double‐glazed French doors opening directly onto the patio and rear garden, making it an excellent space for family dining and entertaining.
To the first floor, the landing is carpeted and benefits from a double‐glazed window over the staircase allowing light into the space, with access to the loft inspection point, airing cupboard, four bedrooms, and the family bathroom.
The main bedroom is a generous double bedroom laid to carpet, featuring a useful alcove wardrobe area, built‐in storage, double‐glazed window to the front, and a private en‐suite comprising a low‐level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, and shower enclosure with sliding door, fully tiled wet areas, and an obscure double‐glazed window.
Bedroom two is another spacious double bedroom with a rear‐facing double‐glazed window overlooking the garden and built‐in wardrobe, while bedrooms three and four are further well‐proportioned bedrooms, each laid to carpet and benefiting from built‐in wardrobes and double‐glazed windows.
The family bathroom comprises a three‐piece suite with a low‐level WC, vanity wash hand basin, and panelled bath with tiled surround, laminate flooring, chrome ladder radiator, and obscure glazed window.
Externally, the front of the property features a well‐maintained garden with pathway to the entrance and a driveway to the side providing off‐road parking and access to the detached garage.
To the rear, the property truly stands out with its impressive and expansive wraparound garden, predominantly laid to lawn and fully enclosed, featuring a large patio area ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining, with the south‐facing aspect allowing sunshine to be enjoyed throughout the day.
The generous plot offers excellent versatility for future development subject to planning, additional outbuildings, or further landscaping subject to planning, while the detached garage benefits from power and an external access door from the garden, completing this highly desirable family home.
